TROUBLESHOOTING
If your tool seems not to operate properly, follow
the instructions below. If this does not solve the
problem, please contact your local Black & Decker
repair agent.
Before proceeding, remove the battery
from the tool.
Tool runs slowly
Check that the spool housing can rotate freely.

If it does, cut it off so that it just reaches the
line trimming blade.

Automatic line feed does not work
Keep the tabs depressed and remove the
spool cover from the spool.
Lift the spool approx. 6 mm and pull the
cutting line until it protrudes 10-12 cm from
the housing. If insufficient cutting line is left on
the spool, install a new spool of cutting line as
instructed above.
Push the spool back into place and rotate it
slightly until it is seated.
Align the tabs on the spool cover with the
holes in the housing.
Push the cover onto the housing until it snaps
securely into place.
If the cutting line protrudes beyond the
trimming blade, cut it off so that it just reaches
the blade.
If the automatic line feed still does not work,
try the following suggestions:
Carefully clean the spool housing.
Remove the spool and check if the lever can
move freely.
Remove the spool and unwind the cutting line,
then wind it on neatly again as described
above. Replace the spool as instructed.

needs replacement, or if it is of no further
use to you, think of the protection of the
environment. Black & Decker repair agents

ensure that they are disposed of in an
environmentally safe way.
